Appendix A: Feature comparison—runtime
application and FileMaker Pro
Key differences between the FileMaker Pro runtime application and
FileMaker Pro 4.0 include:
1 All the database design features have been removed or hidden in the
runtime application.
1 The runtime application cannot access files over a network.
1 The runtime application cannot communicate with the FileMaker
Web Companion. Hosting a database on the Web or communicating
with a Java applet requires FileMaker Pro 4.0.
1 Some menu items have been removed from the runtime application
(see table below).
1 The runtime application lets end users use your solution files without
purchasing the FileMaker Pro application.
